The Golden Dove
''The Golden Dove'' is the second solo album by Mary Timony. It was released on May 21, 2002, on Matador Records. Critical reception AllMusic thought that "''The Golden Dove'' puts the 'independent' back in indie-rock: It's beautiful, weird, and difficult to love." ''The Washington Post'' wrote that "the songs jump from poetic fantasies accompanied by British-folk arpeggios to earthy resentments over choppy punk chords."

Mountains (Mary Timony Album)
''Mountains'' is the debut solo album by the American indie rock musician Mary Timony, released in 2000. Production Timony played all of the instruments on the album, aside from the drums. ''Mountains'' was recorded in Boston and mixed in Chicago. It was Timony's intention to make a more acoustic album, after the dissolution of Helium. Critical reception ''Entertainment Weekly'' thought that Timony's "unerring instincts—a well-placed guitar strum here, an off-key phrase there—make this determinedly lo-fi effort an easy climb." ''The Washington Post'' called the album "a well-realized, cleverly updated example of the rock-and-runes genre." ''The Times'' instructed: "Imagine a stripped-back, very simplistic musical cross between the sword'n'sorcery imagery of early Black Sabbath and the baroque, layered vocal pop of Miranda Sex Garden." The ''Chicago Tribune'' determined that "Timony makes disturbingly beautiful music for lapsed Gentle Giant fans and anti-Lilith singer-songwrit ...

AllMusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The ''Chicago Tribune'' is a daily newspaper based in Chicago, Illinois, United States, owned by Tribune Publishing.

The 1960s saw its corporate parent owner, Tribune Company, rea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
